Virginia Breaks Syracuse's Heart With a Game-Winning Three At The Buzzer
I fucking hate UVA. I despise Kihei Clark's existence. Blast that whole school into outer space and I wouldn't blink. Brutal loss after erasing a 6 point lead with 2 minutes to play. 25% three point shooter ends the Orange's ACC tourney life. Heartbreaking. Couldn't have played a better first half albeit the last few moments. Wasn't enough.
The big question now is whether these two games were enough in the committee's eyes to put Syracuse in. I'm obviously biased, but blowing out NC State who had won 5 straight coming in and keeping it a game throughout with UVA is a good eye test as far as I'm concerned. Does Syracuse really have any good wins outside of Va Tech, UNC, and Clemson? Nope, not really. Their non-conference was basically non-existent with this weird year. But does a team like Drake deserve to be in over them? Heavens no. I think over these two games and down the stretch of the season they looked all the part like a team that deserves to play next week, but it'll be up to the committee. Gonna need to bank on no teams stealing bids in the other conferences too. It'll be close and down to the wire as it seemingly is every year for this fucking team. Woulda been nice if Boeheim played Kadary and Edwards earlier in the season and gave this team some depth. Of course he was stubborn and refused to give in, resulting in the bubble life. Thanks Jim!
March Madness could use a shooter like Buddy in the tourney that's all I'll say. When Buddy is cooking like this he's so fun to watch.
